Richard Penniman, universally known as Little Richard, turns 84 today. Initially a gospel and R&B performer, he became one of the first, and one of the most durable, of the big stars of rock and roll. From about 1955-58 he turned out hit after hit, some of which have been awarded “Hall of Fame” designation by the Grammys, and one of which is in the Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry.

While Little Richard has never matched his period of recording success in the late 1950s, he has remained a successful performer even past the age of 80, although his popularity has ebbed and flowed as it does for most musicians. When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted its inaugural class in 1986, he was among those selected, along with the likes of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Jim Brown, Ray Charles and a few others.
